It's an interesting idea. But it's the backgrounds that change most and have the most obvious jaggies. Also, a major advantage of uber-simple backgrounds is the potential for more creative backgrounds. Take the city streets in Paris for example. I don't think any feature on the video, but I have several thousand generic streets that are created from the same hundred houses. So all but a few of the streets look boring. Which is frustrating to me, bacause if you look at any paintings of nineteenth century the streets look amazing! I want to suggest streets like that. I can do it with very simple sketches, but I can't do it with any style that takes time to draw. And the sketches can easily draw on copyright images, while more detailed pictures can't. So many possibilities!
